When you use a quotation or cite a specific piece of information, please include page numbers. Like this (Fortun 2009, p4).
If you use a article (for your third article) that is not listed on the wiki, please add it. Please also add other resources you find.
You don't need a cite for common knowledge (that oil use releases greenhouse gases, for example). But don't forget that "common knowledge" can be contested on environmental issues, so cite when you can. Some of this is an intellectual strategy call: If you are repeating a claim that oil use can be linked to health hazards, provide a cite if you have it.
Make sure to be clear that you are writing about one author (or group of authors), representing one side of a debate. So your second paragraph could begin something like this:
Stephen Baird, writing for Technology Teacher, argues for continued develoment of offshore drilling. His main argument....
In writing about environmental politics, you often need to refer to different kinds of countries. One way is to refer to 1st world, 2nd and 3rd (and even 4th). This terminology is a legacy of the Cold War era (with 2nd world refering to Soviet countries). Today, some people refer to the "global North" (roughly the 1st world) vs. the "global South." I'm not convinced this is much better. In talking about environmental politics, I still find it useful to refer to "industrialized" vs. "developing," because it indicates how intensely a country is using resources, and polluting. But note that this terminology, too, has also been criticized(for good reasons):
There is criticism of the use of the term ‘developing country’. The term implies inferiority of a 'developing country' compared to a 'developed country', which many such countries dislike. It assumes a desire to ‘develop’ along the traditional 'Western' model of economic development which a few countries, such as Cuba, have chosen not to follow. Thus, Cuba remains classed as 'developing' due to its low gross national income but has a lower infant mortality rate than the USA.
